to the artists, designers and craftspeople who think I call their work kitsch... this is NOT the case, it refers to my own work

happy birthday Herman

leaving for Hong Kong

The very first, and until now the only painting (a series of 4 actually) I've ever made.
Herman is my beloved, departed brother. Sometimes his absence really hurts, and it was in such a period I felt the need to make this portrait. I painted it on one of his brightlycoloured shirts.
It is based on a photo I took from him at breakfast, the morning he was leaving for Hong Kong when he was working for ArtsenZonderGrenzen - Médecins Sans Frontières.

assemblage artist.
Mixed-media, art in many forms, recycling and upstyling are my passions - but I like to look around at many other things and capture them with my tiny camera that never leaves me.
I am not an art critic, I merely want to share impressions of things I've seen.
